Note: I am happy that I am able to send out my newsletter today, Mon. 8/21/23 [this would've been sent out this past Saturday (8/19/23) night, but I couldn't do the last piece of the "behind the scenes" part of inputting my registration form link in my "BUY NOW" link in this newsletter so I had to wait to call them today, (Mon. 8/21/23)]. Good news! 🙂 Apparently, it was all because I had to just refresh my internet browser & it fixed the problem. I asked the agent at my newsletter company if they were having issues with this (in general) she didn't know, but when I asked if I should do that if I have issues again before calling & she said yes. She also gave me other tips to try with my internet browser as well (that I can try doing before calling them) so that I don't have to wait like I had to this time (until they are open again). Thank goodness it was resolved quickly & favorably! 🙂🙏

6 seconds, the average time spent for this, will you make the cut?

According to 4 different recent sources, 6 seconds is how long recruiters and hiring managers spend to look at your resume before determining if you're moving to an interview with the company or not.

Just so that you can really see how short 6 seconds really is and get a visual (no pun intended), I shot a video from a workout coach I discovered in March of this year & I must say didn't get tired of (this one ab workout) & kept doing for the longest out of all the workout DVDs I've done in the past from other coaches.

(Click on the sideways triangle with the circle on the image below to watch the 6-second video):

Some quick tips if you're having problems accessing the above video:

1. Prior to clicking on the sideways triangle with the circle around it on the image above, ensure your speakers are work, are on, & loud enough for you to hear on the device you're using. This may also include any external speakers (you may have) if applicable.
2. If you're having problems viewing/clicking on the above sideways triangle with the circle around it on the image above, the direct link to the video is: https://youtu.be/kurNXkn4LCA so try clicking that direct link.

Do you need a resume OR need an updated one that will get you results?

All resumes are brand-new 2-pages and are written to either ONE of the following:

1. A specific job description
2. A general career field (i.e. health coaching)
3. Not written to a specific job description or career field

Pricing is dependent on what experience level you're staying in/pursuing.

My 4 experience levels are:

1. Entry-level (defined as pursuing positions which require 0-2.5 years' experience) and are generally most minimum wage positions.
2. Mid-level (defined as pursuing positions which require 3-14.5 years' experience) positions and are basically, not entry-level, manager, or higher level management position
3. Senior-level (defined as pursuing positions which require 15 years' experience) OR are any management position that's not higher level management (i.e. Director, C-level such as: CEO, CMIO, etc.)
4. Executive-level (defined as pursuing positions which require over 15 years' experience) OR any higher level management position such as: Director, C-level such as: CEO, CMIO, etc.

2 sets of edits per the final resume are included with the price of the resume. 2 sets of edits is defined you as you look at the first draft of your resume, if there are edit(s) to be made, I make them (as long as it's not developing a whole new resume) and then provide you the revised draft & if there are any final edit(s) they are made & then you're provided with the electronic Microsoft Word document of your resume to do as you please with it.

I cannot fix it & my newsletter company is aware of it (I've explained it to them) 🙂 it's been like that for years.

IF YOU WANT TO PAY OUTSIDE OF MY NEWSLETTER, you'd have to contact me *no later than Thurs. 9/21/23 by 1 pm PST* via email so that we can discuss you paying the non-debit/credit card rates for each of the above desired resume options by either finding out if my financial insitution(s) are near you & discuss you visiting one of their locations to deposit into my account with one of the tellers during regular banking hours OR obtaining a snail mail address to mail the cash or money order to.

Want to discuss how I can potentially help you or someone you know with your other career, small business marketing, writing, editing, or LinkedIn needs in general?

I offer a FREE, no obligation phone call to see if we'd be a good fit for working together. I can do 3-way calls at the same time with the decision maker & the potential client I'd be working with (i.e. if a parent would be funding for their adult child) or any other similar circumstance to this.
